IT Solutions & why I do not use the term 'Solutions' on my work

I made a video and speaking my mind about the term 'IT Solutions' and why I do not use the term Solution on my platform and work.

I could of add more and there were more to add but I got most off my chest whilst I was doing this video.

The problem with the term is customers and end-users love the 'Solution' as a buzz-word but do not understand that the Solution is a 2-way street.
In most cases whilst people love to hear the solutions and 'ask what is the solution?' But unfortunately they do not want solutions because you have to look at the cause of the problem and admit it is a problem and when it comes to solution to the problem, the solution requires compromise.

When I say compromise it means it takes team work, time, money and investment to do so.
This is where I include the Horse & the water scenario. If anyone heard of the scenario it goes like this: "You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make it drink".
This is another term for saying "You can provide them with solution, but you can't force them to act upon the solution".

Audio & Video Recording - Mobile Style (Part 1)

I start using a Rode Microphone which uses Phantom 48v Adaptor and connect to my Samsung phone so I can do professional recording on Audio. Also I can do Video Log in my phone and the Microphone attached.

MCSE Restructure (Again)

I went to my Microsoft Transcript as at the moment and I see 3 new Certification Paths - MCSE Mobility, Productivity and Cloud Platform & Infrastructure.

The existing certification will retire in April 2017 to replace the new ones.
Anyone who has either:

MCSE Private Cloud or Server Infrastructure will be awarded MCSE Cloud Platform & Infrastructure
- MCSE Enterprise Devices and Apps will be awarded MCSE Mobility

- MCSE Data Platform or Business Intelligence certification will be awarded MCSE Data Management and Analytics
- MCSE Messaging, Communication or SharePoint will be awarded MCSE Productivity
If you have not got the certs yet you can pass one of the elective exam path (just one!) to become either MCSE Cloud Platform & Infrastructure, MCSE Mobility, MCSE Data Management and Analytics or MCSE Productivity.

The existing certification will retire in April 2017 to replace the new ones.
Also the new MCSE will be annual certifications.

The certification gets easier but it can be annoying at the same time when it is keep on changing.
Also this annual subcription based Certificate, some people call it like money making business because at the end I pass exams based on skills and knowledge.
